It's true that the relationship you share with your significant other is as unique as a work of art. For a different yet fun way to express that, take an art class together at the East Side Art Center. The center has been open since 1992 and offers you and your date the chance to tap into your hidden talents and express yourselves with paint, sculpture, and other artistic projects. You'll learn a lot about art and each other on a romantic rendezvous here.
There's nothing quite like watching some supercharged live music. In Providence, one of the best places to check out the electric action on stage is The Strand Ballroom. Whether it's rock, rap, country or alternative, you'll find an impressive selection of acts with equally diverse styles regularly on the bill at this nightlife venue. Showtimes and admission prices vary depending on the specific act, so make sure to check the website before heading out.
Kids are used to being told to keep their hands off of things. Luckily for them, the opposite is the case when the whole family visits the Providence Children's Museum. A hands-on approach is highly encouraged as the kids are able to create their own artwork using the provided paints and other modes of expression. The exhibits and attractions are hands-on and are highly informative and entertaining, presenting such subjects as a time traveling adventure through Rhode Island's multicultural history, and a wet and wild exploration of the ways of water. Those are just a couple of the many great adventures that await you and the kids at the Providence Children's Museum.
It's rare to find so much history all in one place, but that is exactly what you will find when you encounter Benefit Street's Mile of History. This is perhaps the most impressively concentrated group of original Colonial homes in the country. See the amazing details that adorn the restored houses and churches, and visit the museums that overlook the city's equally historic waterfront.
